The Assignments: Bacterial Meningitis Destroyed

By Phillip Omodeni

This book, The Assignments, was inspired when my son Timothy was seriously ill and admitted into hospital while we, the parents, were abroad on a visit to family and friends. He was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis and was in a coma for almost a week. The doctors were negative and very discouraging. We declare and engaged the sprinkling blood as a spiritual disinfectant against the bacteria called meningitis. We also stood in prayer by faith that was hung on the revelation that this is an assignment for God. Our son was restored unscratched. Praise God! Jonahs and Mosess experiences by their assignments were contrasted in the book, and it was concluded that for every given assignment, there is a God-driven plan. A vision given by God is a vision driven by God (Phillip Omodeni).

FOREWORD

HERE THIS BOOK LOOKS at the subject of Jonah not just as a miserable minor prophet of 2,700 years ago but as one who has a lesson for us today. Philip Omodeni does not just look at the historical event of the miserable evangelist who does not want to do what God called him to do; he looks at this story in an amazing way, seeing its impact on his own life and family now. It may have been a story of thousands of years ago, but the story is still relevant for us today.

For me, this story is more than relevant because Nineveh is where all my congregation and flock are from. What most people totally fail to realise is that in the midst of an Islamic country, one city has continued to follow the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is indeed the city of Nineveh. We often refer to the miserable evangelist who came by a submarine. Seven hundred years after his visit, another miserable man stopped by on his way to India; it was none other than Doubting Thomas. He could see that everybody in this city followed the true God. He asked them if anybody had told them that their Messiah had come. They said nobody had told them.

He told them that Jesus the Messiah had come, and they all became followers of the Lord. For two thousand years, all the people of Nineveh had been Christians, then in August of 2014, everything changed. The evil terrorists of the Islamic State turned up, forcing all the Christians to flee Nineveh; they left with nothing, but they still got Jesus. Some visitors from overseas said to one of my young people, ‘How is it that you can remain happy when everything is so awful all around you?’ She looked at him and said, ‘When you have lost everything, Jesus is all you have.’

From Jonah to Jesus and till now, we do not live without purpose and hope. To all our people from Nineveh to the author, Philip, and to us, there is one message that this story binds us to; the story so forcibly told in this book is simply that the Lord is here and His spirit is with us.

INTRODUCTION

GOD CREATED EVERYONE FOR a purpose, and that purpose can only be revealed by the giver of that purpose, which is God Almighty. As is always said, when the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse of it is inevitable. The world was created by God for humans to inhabit, dominate, and enjoy. And within this divide, which we call time, God has created spheres of human endeavours. The secret to fulfilment in life is for you to find where you belong as per the various spheres within time. There are majorly seven spheres of human influence: the media, the government, entertainment, the economy, education, religion, and the family.

None of these is superior to the other. Religion is not superior to politics; neither is government superior to the family or to entertainment. A family is a reflection of the community we live in. A family well-groomed in the fear of the Lord is a nation with not only potentials for positive growth but also a high moral standard. If you don’t know where God has placed
